Quick summary of the last week:
For the most part it was quiet this week on the end of Ajdabiya and Brega, they've been holding at a stalemate that the Rebels are using as time to train, and retrain soldiers now that Canada, Britain, France and Qatar have sent or repurposed(in the case of Canada and Britain) small teams on the ground in Libya to act as military advisers to the rebels.
on the Western side of Libya a group of Rebels From Zintan pushed north west and Captured the Libyan/Tunisian boarder allowing Tunisian aid to come into the country. Qatar is now using this as a gateway to help the Rebels set up a forward command there. This victory puts the Rebels surrounding Gaddafi territory on 3 sides and the fourth being blockaded by the NATO fleet.
In Misurata, Gaddafi forces have been pushed out of the city proper and into a small section of the western suburbs, while this effectively breaks the siege and opens roads to Benghazi if the rebels take Brega and Sirte, The artillery positions to the west have started bombarding the city more intensely than has been seen yet.
NATO has decided to extend their targets to attack Gaddafi Telecommunications equipment to stop them from effectively communicating with the front line and coordinating attacks.
Britain has circumvented the arms embargo and started supplying the rebels with body armour and rations rather than weapons. Qatar is also supplying them with digital camouflage uniforms.
Tripoli is now being targeted by NATO again as Gaddafi has unveiled a large number of AAA sites that were previously hidden. there has been constant AAA fire over the city for the past couple of days.
The US has given predator drones to NATO that have been used as strike craft against Gaddafi forces inside of cities due to their enhanced manoeuvrability over a fighter craft.
2 Canadian CF-18s destroyed 24 vehicles and disabled at least another 12 yesterday in Brega, While British, French and Canadian planes bombed retreating Gaddafi armour outside of Misurata.I saw recon photos, there's also a bunch of these all over the place.

aren't those more suited to shoot down helicopters rather then aircraft?
also, a man tried hijacking a jet from Paris to Rome, he tried to re route it to Tripoli but was subdued by Flight Attendants Source
